He is also the host of Heartland's “In the Tank Podcast,” uploaded to the Heartland Daily Podcast iTunes feed every Friday.

Donny Kendal and John Nothdurft are joined by Justin Haskins in episode #170 of the In The Tank Podcast. This weekly podcast features (as always) interviews, debates, and roundtable discussions that explore the work of think tanks across the country. The show is available for download as part of the Heartland Daily Podcastevery Friday. Today’s episode features work from the Tax Foundation, the Illinois Policy Institute, and the Texas Public Policy Foundation.

The first main topic of the show is based on an article published in The Hill titled “Five Things to Know About Ocasio-Cortez’s ‘Green New Deal.'” Justin describes just how far-reaching and potentially damaging this plan could be. Not only does the plan call for a total rejection of fossil fuels in 10 years, it also demands a litany of socialist programs including a guaranteed job program and universal health care.
